Towards a Platform-Independent Cooperative Human Robot Interaction System: III. An Architecture for Learning and Executing Actions and Shared Plans (2012)
Journal Article
Robots should be capable of interacting in a cooperative and adaptive manner with their human counterparts in open-ended tasks that can change in real-time. An important aspect of the robot behavior will be the ability to acquire new knowledge of the... Read More about Towards a Platform-Independent Cooperative Human Robot Interaction System: III.

Distributed autonomous morphogenesis in a self-assembling robotic system (2012)
Book Chapter
We present distributed morphogenesis control strategies in a swarm of robots able to autonomously assemble into 3D symbiotic organisms to perform specific tasks. Each robot in such a system can work autonomously, while teams of robots can self-assemb... Read More about Distributed autonomous morphogenesis in a self-assembling robotic system.
On fault tolerance and scalability of swarm robotic systems (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper challenges the common assumption that swarm robotic systems are robust and scalable by default. We present an analysis based on both reliability modelling and experimental trials of a case study swarm performing team work, in which failure...

TACTIP - Tactile fingertip device, challenges in reduction of size to ready for robot hand integration (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Previous work on the TACTIP project has demonstrated a prototype tactile fingertip device, at a little over twice the diameter(40mm) of a human fingertip (16-20mm). Unlike most other developed MEMS sensors, the TACTIP device is appropriate for all ta...

Dynamic deflectometry: A novel approach for the on-line reconstruction of specular freeform surfaces (2012)
Journal Article
The dynamic inspection and reverse engineering of specular freeform surfaces is a challenge so far largely unsolved. Products produced in high quantities in industrial environments are still inspected manually which is labour intensive, expensive, mo...

Multi-block high-order dns code development for jet in turbulent cross-flow simulation (2012)
Journal Article
A multi-block high-order finite-difference direct numerical simulation (DNS) code has been developed for studying turbulent flows over complex geometries. A global mapping technique is adopted and applied to a multi-block domain arrangement, in which...

Beaming: An asymmetric telepresence system (2012)
Journal Article
The Beaming project recreates, virtually, a real environment; using immersive VR, remote participants can visit the virtual model and interact with the people in the real environment. The real environment doesn't need extensive equipment and can be a... Read More about Beaming: An asymmetric telepresence system.
Tensile properties and microstructural characteristics of indirect rheoformed A356 aluminum alloy (2012)
Journal Article
The effects of rheoforming parameters such as the rheoforming temperature and pressure on the tensile properties of H-shaped components were examined. An H-shaped component is useful for practical investigation into the influence of different wall th...
